1966 OPC Batman Black Bat #43 The Bat-Gasmask

Centering: left border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right, top border slightly wider than bottom — estimating approximately 60/40 L/R and 58/42 T/B, which is acceptable for NM-MT range but pushes toward the edge of NM. Corners: at this resolution all four corners appear reasonably sharp with no obvious blunting or rounding visible, though the lower-left and upper-right corners show slight softening consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface and gloss: the card appears to retain good gloss with no visible creases, staining, or print snow evident in the image; color saturation looks strong. Edges appear clean with no tears or nicks visible, though the rough-cut characteristic of OPC stock may mask minor edge texture — back condition, corner micro-wear, and true gloss level cannot be assessed from this single front photo, which is why the range is widened.

Centering (L/R): left border appears slightly wider than right, estimating roughly 60/40 L/R — acceptable; top/bottom: top border appears noticeably wider than bottom, estimating approximately 70/30 T/B, within EX-MT range but pushing limits. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at the lower corners, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Edges appear somewhat rough but that is normal for OPC/Topps 1966 vintage cuts and should not be over-penalized. Surface shows some gloss loss and what may be minor handling wear; no obvious creases are visible from this photo, though the image resolution prevents ruling out a light surface crease. The white border areas show moderate toning/aging typical for the issue. Without a back view or corner macro shots, a range of 3–5 is appropriate with 4 (VG-EX) as the most likely single grade given the rounded corners and border wear.

Centering: left border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right, top border slightly wider than bottom — estimating approximately 55/45 L/R and 58/42 T/B, which is acceptable for the grade range. The green background shows mild print snow consistent with vintage OPC/Topps stock, not grade-penalized. Corners appear reasonably sharp from this distance with no obvious rounding visible on the two upper corners; lower corners are partially obscured by the title badge but show no flagging. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases, staining, or paper damage. The back is unseen and corner micro-wear cannot be fully assessed at this resolution, widening the range; a closer corner inspection could push this into NM-MT (8) territory or confirm EX-MT (6) if light rounding is present.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable and not a primary grade driver here. Surface gloss appears moderate with some dulling visible, consistent with light wear. Corners show minor rounding at all four tips, most notably the lower-left and upper-right, suggesting EX to VG-EX range rather than NM territory. No creases are visible on the face, and no staining or writing is apparent; print quality looks clean with no significant snow or defects. The back is not visible so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out, widening the range downward to 4.
